Mermaid Magic is the 14th episode of Season 3 of H2O: Just Add Water.
Plot[]
Zane is getting annoyed at Will's natural connection with the girls, which is getting Sophie too. When Zane finds Will's potential to be a free diving champion, he sees the opportunity to put Will in his place. He indicates his interest in sponsoring Will and demands a demonstration of Will's natural abilities, setting up a challenge where he tricks Will by cheating. Will responds to the challenge and undertakes a dive without preparation. When Will doesn't resurface Zane realizes he has created a serious error and urgently calls Rikki to save Will's life, creating a special bond between both Will and Rikki. Meanwhile, Cleo leads the girls to investigate the Mako rock Will recovered from the Moon Pool. Lying dormant inside of it, they discover a rare strange dark blue crystal which surprisingly matches the one Bella wears around her neck, which she found at the bottom of a natural pool in Ireland, where she became a mermaid. All three girls are determined to find the connection between the two identical dark blue crystals as they come from opposite sides of the world.
